Default Re: Ripoff scam

There really isn’t a way to stop a determined thief like this. All you can do is protect yourself by only using protected forms of payment as I mentioned above. They always find a way…

For instance, this guy had the patience to create an account over a year ago, make ten relevant posts in order to gain access to the pm system, and then scam people.

If you are willing to put in the time and effort, I would suggest calling the police… in the past, I’ve done this myself. It took over 100 hours of my time and lots of frustration, but I actually got the guy arrested. I’d be willing to help with IP addresses and server logs as needed by the police.
